NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 are a pair of unbarred spiral galaxies in the constellation Virgo, approximately 60 million light years from Earth. They are named "Siamese Twins" because they appear to be connected.

These galaxies are in the earliest stages of colliding and merging with each other, with star formation most active in the area of overlap.
